Dollar Store Craft {Neon Wood Painted Earrings}

The other day while strolling through my local 99 Cent Only store {I love dollar stores} I came across these plain wood earrings. It’s like they were calling my name to take them home and make them fabulous. They were perfect for these Neon Wood Painted Earrings.

I decided I would use Neon for this project, I’m obsessed with Neon at the moment. Maybe it’s because I feel super tan when I wear it, maybe it’s the intense colors…who knows, but I love it.

I used some masking tape to tape off the earrings in the patterns I wanted. You can really do anything, stripes, polka dots, solids…you decide. You could use little stickers too.

All you do is paint them. I had to do several coats of my neon colors since they were a thinner acrylic paint, I just kept applying coats until I reached the intensity I wanted.

I removed the tape when it was dry and I had these great earrings.

These earrings are the perfect example of finding something simple at the dollar store and making it fabulous. These have a great natural feel to them to with the mixture of the wood and paint. Perfect for summer!

Wow so easy and trendy. I’m glad the wooden parts came together, this is a great project thanks! I’m a new follower and can’t wait to see your other projects. I would love if you came by and followed me at http://www.iheartpears.blogspot.com See you soon!

These are so cute and creative! I would love for you to link these up to The CSI project this week starting on Wednesday night. The challenge is Wood projects and these are perfect.http://www.thecsiproject.comI would also love for you to do a tutorial in July. Email me for the challenge schedule to see if you would like to participate.

I will have to look for something like these, but I think I’d get some neon or other brightly colored nail polish while at the store. It may take a little longer to dry but I like shiny. Maybe even glitter. Awesome idea for dressing up something so plain, thank you!
